    Chinese Shrimp Toast

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    crispy chinese shrimp toast

    This light and airy appetizer is made of crispy bread and fluffy shrimp paste. Chinese shrimp toast is usually served at dim sum. Usually the shrimp toast is fried in oil, but this recipe uses an air-fryer. It’s less oily and healthier!

    I love to add some mayo on top for an extra creamy flavor.

    Ingredients you need for your shrimp toast:

    • large shrimp
    • salt
    • sugar
    • white pepper
    • corn starch
    • egg white
    • green onion
    • cilantro or jalapeno
    • white bread
    • sesame seeds
    • light olive oil
    • kewpie mayo

    Steps to make the shrimp toast:

    1. Prep the cilantro and green onions. Chop 4 stalks of cilantro (can be replaced with green onion or jalapeno) finely and slice 1 green onion.
    2. Peel and devein the shrimp. Start to dice and chop the shrimp with a knife until the shrimp becomes a paste. Alternatively, you can put the shrimp in a food processor if you don’t want to dice the shrimp. I like to chop it by hand because I like the different textures of the shrimp.
    3. Next, mix the shrimp with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon sugar, pinch of white pepper, 1 tablespoon corn starch, 1 egg white, chopped cilantro and sliced green onion. You want to mix in one direction for one minute until the mixture is well combined. Mixing the meat filling in one direction helps with myosin development. Myosin is a protein that helps bind the meat together. This results in a stickier and tender filling.
    4. Cut the white bread in squares (4 squares for each slice of bread). You may cut off the crusts if you like but I don’t like to waste the bread.
    5. Place 1 tbs of shrimp filling on top of the white bread and add some sesame seeds to garnish.
    6. Before baking, add some 1-2 tablespoons of light olive oil and sesame seeds to the top of the shrimp toast. You can air fry or bake the shrimp toast at 375F for 8-9 minutes. Top with some kewpie mayo and hope you enjoy!
